Iran ‘has negative role in world’
`Iran is the country most widely viewed as having a negative influence in the world, with the US in second place, a new poll for the BBC suggests.
The survey for the BBC World Service asked how 39,435 people in 33 nations across the globe saw various countries.
Views of China, Russia and France have declined in comparison to a similar survey at the end of 2004.
Japan is most widely seen to have a positive influence. Europe has the most positive scores of all in the poll.’
